Description
First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of this work by Iain Banks, Scottish author who marked the start of the Culture series, considered one of the greatest British writers since 1945 (according to The Times, 2008).
A novel following the story of Hisako Onoda, a world famous cellist, as she travels to her first European concerts by sea as a passenger on a ship that gets trapped in the Panama Canal as a result of an international crisis, and anchors in Gatun Lake.
A story of deceptive simplicity and dark, original power with stark psychological insights and vivid scenarios.
With the unclipped dustwrapper.
Condition
In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally lovely. The dustwrapper is unclipped and excellent with minor shelfwear only. Internally, firmly bound. The occasional faint odd spot, otherwise pages are bright and clean.
